The event is designed for student teams with a diverse range of experience. We encourage all middle and high school students to participate.<\/p>\n<p>UMaine staff work with teachers or advisors throughout the design and build process. Teams are presented with a guidebook and a simulated test turbine to test their platform prior to competition day.<\/p>\n<p>Participation is free, and a limited number of travel stipends are available to schools with demonstrated need.<\/p>\n<p>We recently published this two-minute video highlighting the design, build, and test process with youth from King Middle School in Portland:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video:\u00a0Kleinschmidt Windstorm Challenge Focus: King Middle School<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"responsive-video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kleinschmidt Windstorm Challenge Focus: King Middle School\" width=\"1268\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yf2sNWIjngQ?wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>High School Teams are teams of four or less high school students.

These groups will test their platform and provide a presentation, just like high school teams, but they will not be considered for the internship award.
